Cherry blossom petalsAKB48
Before they became a national idol group, this song epitomized AKB48 in their early days, just after they began performing at their Akihabara theater.
Rather than portraying springtime farewells as merely lonely, the lyrics depict them as a starting point for the future—something that will resonate deeply with many listeners.
The chorus has a sing-along melody that’s perfect for reaffirming bonds with friends.
Released in February 2006 as their first indie single, the track was already widely featured at the time, serving as the theme song for the TBS drama “Desuyone.” and appearing in NTT Docomo commercials, among other tie-ins.
It’s been loved for so long that a remake was produced in 2008.
With its catchy, group-friendly appeal, it’s an inspiring number I’d recommend as karaoke after a graduation ceremony or as background music at a farewell party for a dear friend.

The lyrics capture a powerful resolve: overcoming the uncertainty and frustration of her early days and racing toward the stage of her dreams—just listening makes your heart swell.
It’s an encouraging message that reflects her journey so far, gratitude to her fans, and hope for the future.
Give it a listen when you want to feel positive.
cherry blossomberii guddoman
This is a medium-tempo number by Berry Goodman, a three-member vocal unit from Osaka, that evokes the warmth of spring.
Rather than dwelling on the sadness of parting, the lyrics cherish feelings of gratitude and hope for the future, lifting listeners’ spirits.
Included on the concept album “Spring Spring Spring,” released in March 2017, the song was also used as the ending theme for MBS’s “ENT.” An MV was created using photos gathered through a listener-participation project, making it a track that has grown alongside everyone’s memories.
It’s perfect for graduations where you’ll miss your friends, or when you want to give someone a push as they head to a new place.
Believe in unchanging bonds and consider gifting this song that gives you the courage to move on to the next stage with a smile.
Farewell, youthogura kei
It’s a classic you want to listen to during graduation season, when the scent of parting hangs in the air.
Written by singer-songwriter Kei Ogura—who produced numerous hits while working as a bank employee—this song was included on the B-side of his 1971 debut single “Shiosai no Uta.” It was broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in 1975 and later featured in an NTT commercial in 1993, remaining beloved across generations.
The farewell words, which deliberately refrain from calling out to a youth that has already passed, convey a dignified yet profound sense of sorrow.
With the warmth of folk and a universal melody that sinks into the heart, this piece gently accompanies both adults who look back fondly on days gone by and students about to set off on new journeys in the spring of new beginnings.
Beyond the GoodbyeYamaguchi Momoe
This is the final single that symbolizes the Showa-era pop scene, released in August 1980 just before Momoe Yamaguchi’s retirement.
Also included on the album “Legend of the Phoenix,” the song—written by Yoko Aki and composed by Ryudo Uzaki—portrays a quiet resolve toward the future that lies beyond parting.
Transcending the bounds of being a theme song for any particular program, it is deeply etched in many people’s memories as the piece that closed her final concert at the Nippon Budokan.
Its lyrics, which accept farewell and strive to move forward, are sure to resonate with those facing graduation or life’s turning points.
A timeless classic passed down through the years, its vocals—imbued with a calm passion—seem to inspire the strength to take a new step forward when you listen.
Sakura rollFunatsu Mahiro
With the arrival of spring, the song that makes me want to listen is Masho Funatsu’s “Sakura Roll,” released in March 2021.
The title is a coined word that blends “sakura” (cherry blossoms) with a smartphone’s “camera roll,” a clever touch that layers the fleeting season with the enduring nature of memories.
This piece, graced by the soothing sound of acoustic guitar, features high school singer Ren on chorus; the overlap of their voices creates a beautiful harmony where warmth and wistfulness coexist.
The lyrics capture a contemporary feeling—the desire to etch fleeting moments into the heart like photographs—and gently resonate with those facing graduation or a new chapter in life.
It’s a highly recommended song to send with gratitude, while reflecting on days spent with friends or a loved one.
SUNRISE Japanarashi
SUNRISE Japan is a song that evokes the image of a hopeful new morning and a youthful sense of momentum.
Despite feelings of anxiety or doubt, its lyrics about moving toward the future with your friends will surely give many listeners a push forward.
Released as a single in April 2000, it was also loved as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Professional Baseball News 2000.” Its rhythmic groove makes it perfect for getting everyone hyped at karaoke.
The key to the rap section is to ride the beat and sing it with fun energy.
It’s a great song to try when you want to brighten the mood or enjoy a sense of unity with everyone.
